  1. 1機棚、飛機庫

    A hangar is a very large building where aircraft are kept, repaired, or rolled in out of the weather. Think of a shed, but on the scale of a plane: high doors, a wide floor, room for wings. Airports and air bases have them. Though actually, the word has nothing to do with hang, even though it sounds close to . It came into English from French hangar, an old word for a shed, and before that from a Frankish word for a fence around houses. In careful speech some people give it a slightly different vowel from ; in everyday talk the two can sound almost the same, which is why the spelling mix-up is so common.

From the word’s history

Borrowed from French hangar 'shed', ultimately from Frankish *haimgard, from *haim 'home' + *gard 'yard'.

借自法文 hangar「棚子」，最早是法蘭克語的「家」加「院子」。

Wiktionary
